“Europe is not going to be some sort of cuddly ‘care bear’ that hands over its money and expects nothing in return.”

The drugs giant expects only 30 million doses, a third of its contractual obligations, according to an internal document.

Emmanuel Macron savaged over 'dangerous' vaccine claims | World | News

Since then, a leading study found the vaccine has a 76 percent efficacy against infections three months after the single dose, and another extensive trial found the jab reduced the risk of hospitalisation by 94 percent.
Sir Patrick Vallance, the UK Government's chief scientific adviser, said it is "clear that AstraZeneca works and it works in older people".
Political commentator Douglas Murray branded Mr Macron’s previous comments about the vaccine as “dangerous” and hit out at the French leader for not issuing an apology.
The British author added his remarks came amid a wave of vaccine scepticism in France and highlighted a poll that suggested just 40 percent of people would take the jab.

France has seen the Kent variant of coronavirus become one of the most prevalent strains of Covid in the past few weeks, with the mutation reported to be behind 20 to 25 percent of new infections. Despite the "worrying evolution" the disease has gone through, Emmanuel Macron has repeatedly rejected suggestions to put France under a third national lockdown. According to an Elisée insider, President Macron believed "there is a path" to ensure the country can escape another general shut down despite the growing impact of foreign strains on new cases.

The French President criticised the UK's approach to vaccinations last month after British health chiefs decided to delay second doses for up to 12 weeks. He said: "When you have all the health agencies and the manufacturers who are telling you that for it to work you have to have two injections with a maximum of 28 days between the two, as is the case with Pfizer/BioNTech, and you have countries that have a vaccination strategy of only giving one injection, I am not sure that it's totally serious.
